Too good to be true?

I have bought and sold multiple items on Marketplace. Most recently was an inexpensive car. It was in another state. I contacted the seller, set up a time to meet and inspect the car. The car turned out to be better than I expected and I bought it for slightly less than the advertised price.

I have hate, hate, hate relationship with Facebook. Nothing but scammers, "...My father is on a 6 month submarine deployment in the Pacific, if you will take a PayPal check and ship it...blah blah blah..." 3 Different versions of that scam. The ad read "In person transactions only." Somebody from about 50 miles away was going to put an Australian Shepherd puppy on a plane with a handler for $250 bucks. I replied that I would just drive up there and get it. They ignored that comment and just kept asking for the $250 check. Different experiences, I guess.

There’s even more scammers on Craigslist than marketplace. And Craigslist will let people spam post the same thing 100 times. Marketplace requires a different picture.

why anyone even considers buying online is beyond me

There are no legit items on FBM at all. NONE! People must like being ripped off, must get off by being cheated / abused.
